Runners looking for inspiration: Listen to this episode, a conversation with ultrarunner Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who started running a mere five years ago—after losing her leg to cancer two decades ago. With Sarah and Amanda co-hosting, Jacky shares:
-her gratitude about the journey that took her from amputation to professional runner;
-how the first mile of every run is uniquely uncomfortable for her;
-why she finds trails more appealing than roads;
-her “unfinished business” with a 240-mile race in Moab, Utah; and
-her sub-24-hour 100-mile run on a NordicTrack treadmill.
Before the ultramarathoner joins at 13:17, the hosting duo talks about extreme weather they’ve run in recently.

Quick note – An FKT was mentioned in this episode then related to this runner’s 100 miles on a treadmill. An FKT can’t be done on a treadmill, and it doesn’t relate to a person’s personal best. An FKT must be submitted at the FKT website and has a very specific route (no treadmills). Only one person can hold an FKT at a time in the designated separate categories. So, a personal best might be more appropriate language for this runner’s personal achievement.
With all love from one of your ultrarunner/trail runner fans :)
